This week will be exciting for Samsung fans, although quite a lot is already known about the new Samsung products that will be unveiled on July 9 at the summer Galaxy Unpacked event in New York. Just this weekend, for example, a first real-life image and a hands-on video of the new Samsung flip phone were leaked, and last week a French leaker commented on the Euro prices of the Galaxy Watch 8th generation.
Another leaker, Steve Hemmerstoffer aka @OnLeaks, who is surely familiar to many readers, also recently published a post via X on the topic, revealing not only the start of the pre-order phase but also its end. According to the post, interested parties can place orders starting July 9, 2025, at 3:00 PM (in Central Europe), but the new Galaxy models are not expected to be delivered or available in stores until July 25.
Specifically, this refers to the Galaxy Z Fold7, the Galaxy Z Flip7 and its slimmed-down Fan Edition, the Galaxy Z Flip7 FE, as well as the Galaxy Watch8, Galaxy Watch8 Classic and the Galaxy Watch Ultra2, which will likely launch under the name Galaxy Watch Ultra (2025). Of course, it’s not impossible that pre-orderers in certain regions will receive delivery a few days earlier, but Friday, July 25, appears to be the day of official availability around the globe.
As a young tech enthusiast with a history involving assembling and overclocking projects, I ended up working as a projectionist with good old 35-mm films before I entered the computer world at a professional level. I assisted customers at an Austrian IT service provider called Iphos IT Solutions for seven years, working as a Windows client and server administrator as well as a project manager. As a freelancer who travels a lot, I have been able to write for Notebookcheck from all corners of the world since 2016. My articles cover brand-new mobile technologies in smartphones, laptops, and gadgets of all kinds.
Growing up in regional Australia, I first became acquainted with computers in my early teens after a broken leg from a football (soccer) match temporarily condemned me to a predominately indoor lifestyle. Soon afterwards I was building my own systems. Now I live in Germany, having moved here in 2014, where I study philosophy and anthropology. I am particularly fascinated by how computer technology has fundamentally and dramatically reshaped human culture, and how it continues to do so.
